The MX304 router provides a highly compact, 2-U platform with the flexibility to scale out services with
4.8 Tbps system capacity. Based on Juniper Networks Trio 6 chipset, the MX304 router is designed and
optimized for a wide range of demanding edge requirements (business, residential, mobile, cable, data
center and more) anywhere in the network. The MX304 router runs the Junos operating system (Junos
OS). It has pluggable Routing Engines (it supports one or two Routing Engines), two dedicated AC, DC,
or HVAC/HVDC power supply modules, and front-to-back cooling.
The MX304 router supports a maximum of 12x400 Gbps ports, 48x100 Gbps ports or a combination. It
accepts up to three line card MICs (LMICs), each LMIC has 1 YT chip and 1.6 Tbps of forwarding
capacity.
Benefits of the MX304 Router
• Increased scalability—The MX304 scales to 4.8 Tbps in a single chassis. It supports 400 GbE, 100
GbE, 50 GbE, 40 GbE, 25 GbE, and 10 GbE interfaces, giving hyperscalers, cloud providers and
service providers the performance and scalability needed as networks grow. With a chipset designed
specifically for the unique needs and opportunities of the multiservice edge, the MX304 router
delivers massive logical scale, flexibility and programmability. The purpose-built ASICs in the MX304
provide enhanced packet processing for both full IP functionality and MPLS transport,
accommodating the service scale as traffic continues to increase.
• Space-optimized, power-efficient cloud-era routing platform—The MX304 compact form factor

enables the chassis to be deployed in cabinets, meeting the installation requirements for co-
locations, central offices, and regional networks in emerging markets and transport-focused
environments.
3
• Always-on infrastructure base—The MX304 is engineered with full hardware redundancy for the
Routing Engines, power supplies, and cooling fans allowing service providers to meet stringent
service-level agreements (SLAs) across the core.
• Multiservice Edge delivered at high scale—The MX304 is based on the TRIO 6 chipset making it a
true multiservice edge box. It integrates with existing service provider and cloud use cases, for
example Business Edge, Peering, Backhaul, VPC Gateway, and Enterprise WAN. The Routing Engine
is based on the latest CPU with 8 cores and 128 GB RAM, enabling the MX304 to meet the high
scale requirements of control plane features.
• Inline MACsec—MX304 has MACsec available on all ports and at all speeds in the inline mode. Inline
MACsec means no added latency in throughput performance and without the need for an external
component (PHY/Crypto Engine).
MX304 Router Hardware Overview
The MX304 router contains redundant, pluggable, Routing Engines and supports up to three line-card
MICs (LMICs). Each LMIC has 4x400 Gbps ports, 16x100 Gbps ports, or a combination. LMIC's have the
optics directly on the linecard and are Field Replaceable Unit (FRU)s, but the LMICs aren't hot-
removable-or hot-pluggable.
The MX304 is a compact 2 U router. You can stack several routers in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for
increased port density per unit of floor space.
The router provides two dedicated line card slots for LMICs. You can also add a third LMIC into one of
the Routing Engine slots. As listed in Table 1 on page 3, the MX304 router has up to two redundant
Routing Engines, two power supply modules, and three fan modules. The two dedicated power supply
modules support AC, DC, or HVAC/DC power, the cooling system has three fan modules.

MX304 Component Redundancy
Only a fully configured router provides complete redundancy. All other configurations provide partial
redundancy. The following major hardware components are redundant:
• Routing Engines—A redundant system consists of two Routing Engines which are available as field-
replaceable units (FRUs). One Routing Engine functions as the primary and the other functions as the
backup. If the primary host subsystem (or either of its components) fails, the backup takes over as the
primary. The Routing Engine installed in slot 0 functions as the default primary Routing Engine.
• Power supplies—The router requires two power modules for 1+1 redundancy. Table 3 on page 6
shows the power redundancy supported on the AC, DC, and high-voltage AC/DC (HVAC/DC)
routers. If one power supply fails in a fully redundant system, the other power supply provides full
power to the router without interruption.
Table 3: Power Redundancy
Power Supply Power Supply Module Redundancy
AC 1+1
DC 1+1
HVAC/DC 1+1
• Cooling system—The redundant cooling system has three fan modules. The fan modules are at the
rear of the router. The host subsystem controls and monitors the fans. All three fans are required for
full redundancy. If a fan fails or the temperature rises above the temperature threshold, the host
subsystem automatically adjusts the speed of the remaining fans to keep the temperature within the
acceptable range.
CAUTION: For a fully configured router, all the three fan modules must be operational.
If a fan module failures, replace it immediately.

MX304 Field-Replaceable Units
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are router components that can be replaced at the customer site (see
Table 4 on page 7). Replacing most FRUs requires minimal router downtime. The router uses the
following types of FRUs:
• Hot-removable and hot-insertable FRUs—You can remove and replace these components without
powering off the router or disrupting the routing functions.
• Hot-pluggable FRUs—You can remove and replace these components without powering off the
router. Removing the component interrupts the routing functions of the system.
Table 4 on page 7 lists the FRUs for the router.

17
The cooling system components work together to keep all router components within the acceptable
temperature range.
The cooling system consists of the following components:
Fan Modules
The chassis monitors the temperature of the router components. When the router is operating normally,
the fans function at a lower speed. If a fan fails or the ambient temperature rises above a threshold, the
speed of the remaining fans is automatically adjusted to keep the temperature within the acceptable
range. If the ambient maximum temperature specification is exceeded and the system cannot be
adequately cooled, the Routing Engine shuts down the router by disabling output power from each
power supply.
The router has three fan modules that install at the rear of the router. Each fan tray uses two 80 mm x
80 mm counter rotating fans. The fan modules are hot-swappable and hot-removable field-replaceable
units (FRUs) (see Figure 15 on page 18 and Figure 16 on page 18).
NOTE: When the chassis is online, you can replace one fan at a time. See Table 8 on page 17
for fan removal time. To avoid disturbing the air flow and cooling, don't operate the chassis when
a fan module is removed.

Airflow
The router has a front-to-back (AIR OUT) cooling system (see Figure 17 on page 19). Cool air is pulled
through the vents on the front the chassis and hot air exhausts through the vents on the rear of the
chassis.

Figure 17: Airflow through the Router
Air Filter Unit
The air filter unit consists of three parts:the outer filter cover, the air filter, and the inner cage (see Figure
18 on page 20). The air filter sits right inside the outer filter cover and the inner cage. The air filter unit
is installed into the cable management brackets, and are held tightly by captive screws.

The MX304 routers support AC, DC, high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) and high-voltage direct
current (HVDC) by offering the following power supplies:
• JNP-PWR2200-AC
• JNP-PWR2200-DC
• JNP-PWR2200-HV
The MX304 uses either AC, DC, or HVAC/DC power supply modules. The router contains two power
supplies at the rear of the chassis in slots PSM0 through PSM1. The AC, DC, or HVAC/DC power
supplies directly plug into the midplane and are located symmetrically on the left side of the chassis for
better thermal management. Each power supply has a handle, an ejection lever, and a status LED. The
power supplies connect to the power adapter board, which distributes the different output voltages
produced by the power supplies to the router components, depending on their voltage requirements. A
minimum of one power supply is required for non-redundant operation. If one power supply in a
redundant configuration fails, the second power supply assumes the entire electrical load without
interruption. See "MX304 Component Redundancy" on page 6 for more information on power
redundancy supported on the AC and DC powered router. Each power supply is cooled by its own
internal cooling system. The chassis operates in 1 + 1 PSU redundancy mode. Feed redundancy is not
supported.
All of the power supplies are hot-insertable and hot-removable, field-replaceable units (FRUs). The
router ships with two power supplies labeled PSU 0 through PSU 1 (top to bottom) in the rear of the
chassis. Don't keep the power supply slot empty.
CAUTION: Do not mix AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis. AC and HVAC
can coexist in the same chassis during the hot-swap of AC for HVAC. Do not mix AC
and HVAC power supplies in a running environment.
MX304 AC Power System Description
The MX304 uses either AC, DC, or HVAC/DC power supply modules (see Figure 19 on page 23 ).
Redundant power supplies are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you remove a power supply
from a router that uses only one power supply, the router might shut down depending on your
configuration.
CAUTION: Do not mix AC, DC, or HVAC/DC power supplies in the same chassis.
23
CAUTION: Before you begin installing the router, ensure that a licensed electrician has
attached an appropriate grounding lug to the grounding cable that you supply. Using a
grounding cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router.
CAUTION: You can prevent AC power cables from being exposed to hot air exhaust by
always routing the power cables away from the fan trays and power supplies.
Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated customer-site circuit breaker. We
recommend that you use a minimum 16 A customer-site circuit breaker, or as required by local code.
Each AC power supply weighs approximately 2.42 lb (1.1 kg) and consists of a handle, an ejector lever,
an AC appliance inlet, a fan, and an LED to monitor the status of the power supply. Figure 19 on page
23 shows the power supply. Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated customer-
site circuit breaker.

Routing Engine Interface Ports | 32
The MX304 host subsystem consists of up to two Routing Engines. The host subsystem provides routing
protocol processes, as well as software processes that control the router’s interface, the chassis
components, system management, and user access to the router. A redundant system would host two
Routing Engine cards, one being the primary and the other, the backup. The MX304 Routing Engine is a
hot-swappable FRU and has front panel interfaces. You can install one or two Routing Engines on the
router. The Routing Engine processor runs routing protocols and software daemons for chassis and FRU
management.
NOTE: Install two Routing Engines for redundant protection. If you install only one Routing
Engines, you can install it in slot 0 or slot 1. By default, slot 0 functions as the primary.
CAUTION: If one of the Routing Engine fails, do not remove the failed Routing Engine
until you have a replacement or blank panel to install.
The MX304 router supports JNP304-RE.

The MX304 router with JNP304-RE-LT-R supports only Junos Limited image. The Junos Limited image
does not have data-plane encryption and is intended only for countries in the Eurasian Customs Union
because these countries have import restrictions on software containing data-plane encryption. Unlike
the Junos worldwide image, the Junos Limited image supports control plane encryption through Secure
Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), thus allowing secure management of the system. The
Limited Restriction Routing Engines boots only the encryption free Junos software and fails to boot if
the fully encrypted Junos software is used for booting. The Junos upgrade and VMHost upgrade using
non-limited version of Junos software fails on the JNP304-RE-LT-R.
The command show chassis hardware [models | clei-models | extensive] displays the model number and helps
identifying the different SKUs.
Routing Engine Interface Ports
The ports located on the Routing Engine connect the Routing Engine to one or more external devices on
which system administrators can issue Junos OS CLI commands to manage the router.
The Routing Engine interface ports with the indicated labels function are as follows (see Figure 25 on
page 32):
• CONSOLE—Connects the Routing Engine to a system console through a serial cable with an RJ-45
connector.
33
• MGMT—Connects the Routing Engine through an Ethernet connection to a management LAN (or any
other device that plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management. The port uses an
autosensing RJ-45 connector to support 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps connections. Two small
LEDs (an activity LED and a link LED) on the port indicate the connection in use.
The link LED is:

Grounding Cable Specifications | 46
Specifications for Grounding Points
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, the
router must be adequately grounded before power is connected. To ground AC-powered, DC-powered,
and HVDC/AC-powered routers, you must connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it
to the chassis grounding points by using the two screws provided.
Figure 29 on page 47 shows the grounding point location on the router.
You need a protective earthing terminal bracket for connecting the chassis to earth ground. This two-
holed bracket attaches on the rear of the chassis and provides a protective earthing terminal for the
switch. The grounding points are studs sized for M6 hex screws. The accessory kit includes the M6 hex
screws with integrated washers. The grounding points are spaced at 0.63-in. (16-mm) centers.
There are two threaded holes on the rear side of the chassis for connecting the router to earth ground.
The grounding points fit M6 pan head screws.
NOTE: Additional grounding is provided to an AC-powered router when you plug its power
supplies into grounded AC power receptacles.
46
Figure 28: Grounding Point on the MX304 Router
Grounding Cable Lug Specifications
The accessory box shipped with the router includes the grounding lug and the M6 hex screws for
securing the grounding cable to the grounding points.
CAUTION: Before you install the router, a licensed electrician must attach a cable lug to
the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with an incorrectly attached
lug can damage the router.
Grounding Cable Specifications
The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD6-14A-L or equivalent (provided). The grounding lug
accommodates #6 AWG (4.11 mm²) stranded wire. The grounding cable that you provide for the chassis
must be the same size or heavier than the input wire of each power supply. Minimum recommendations
are 6 AWG (4.11 mm²) stranded wire, 60°C wire, or as permitted by local code.
47
Figure 29: Grounding Lug
MX304 Router Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware

Maintenance
When planning the installation site, allow sufficient clearance around the rack (see Figure 30 on page
48):
• For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted.
Allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between routers. Allow 2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side of
the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface such as a wall.
• For service personnel to remove and to install hardware components, there must be adequate space
at the front and back of the router. At least 24 in. (61 cm) are required both in front of and behind
the router. It is recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and
24 in. (61 cm) behind the router.
• To accommodate power cable bend radius at the rear of the chassis and the interface cable bend
radius at the front of the chassis, provide at least 2.75 in. (7 cm) at the rear and 3.5 in. (8.9 cm) at the
front.

NOTE: For router maintenance and to accommodate power cable bend radius, allow at least
30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the router (see "MX304 Router
Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance" on page 47).
MX304 Router Rack Requirements
The router can be installed in a standard 19-in. rack. Many types of racks are acceptable, including four-
post (telco) racks and open-frame racks. Table 22 on page 52 summarizes rack requirements and
specifications for the router.
Table 22: Router Rack Requirements and Specifications
Rack Requirement Guidelines
Rack type and mounting bracket Use a four-post rack. You can mount the router on any four-post rack that
hole spacing provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75-in./4.44-cm)
increments and that meets the size and strength requirements specified in
this table.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and

Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the
Electronics Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org/).
53
Table 22: Router Rack Requirements and Specifications (Continued)
Rack size and strength • Ensure that the rack is a 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks,
Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D)
published by the Electronics Components Industry Association (http://
www.ecianow.org/).
• Ensure that the rack is one of the following standard lengths:
• 30.0 in. (762 mm)
• 31.5 in. (800 mm)
• The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router
chassis's external dimensions (see "MX304 Router Physical
Specifications" on page 50). The outer edges of the mounting brackets
extend the width to 19 in. (48.3 cm). The spacing of rails and adjacent
racks must also allow for the clearances around the router and rack that
are specified in "MX304 Router Clearance Requirements for Airflow and
Hardware Maintenance" on page 47.
• The router ships with the front-mounting brackets fixed in the front-
mount position on the chassis. You can move the rear-mounting
brackets based on the depth of the rack.
• The chassis height of 3.5 in. (8.89 cm) is approximately 2 U (rack unit).
• The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully
configured router.
• Either end of the router must be mounted flush with the rack and still be
adjustable for racks with different depths. The front and rear rack rails
must be spaced between 23.6 in. (60 cm) and 31.4 in. (80 cm) front to
back.
• Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack as specified in "MX304 Router
Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance" on
page 47.
NOTE: The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the
fully loaded router.

• Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets
for maximum stability.
MX304 Router Cabinet Requirements and Specifications
Table 23 on page 54 summarizes cabinet requirements and specifications for MX304 router.
Table 23: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for an MX304 Router
Cabinet Requirement Guidelines for the MX304 Router
Cabinet size and clearance • The minimum-sized cabinet that can accommodate the router is 19-in.
(482-mm) wide, and 30.0-in. (762-mm) deep. A cabinet larger than the
minimum requirement provides better airflow and reduces the chance of
overheating. If you provide adequate cooling air and airflow clearance,
you can stack several routers in a cabinet that has sufficient usable
vertical space. Each router requires 2 U.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and

Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the
Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) (http://
www.ecianow.org).
• With adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack multiple
MX304 routers in a cabinet with a four-post rack. In all cases, the rack
must meet the strength requirements to support the weight.
• The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 30.7 in. (780 mm)
between the inside of the front door and the inside of the rear door.
55
Table 23: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for an MX304 Router (Continued)
Cabinet Requirement Guidelines for the MX304 Router
Cabinet airflow requirements When you install the router in a cabinet, you must ensure that ventilation
through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating. Consider the
following requirements to when planning for chassis cooling:
• Airflow must always be from front to back with respect to the rack. If the
device has side to rear airflow, then provisions must be made to ensure
that fresh air from the front of the rack is supplied to the inlets, and
exhaust exits from the rear of the rack. The device must not interfere
with the cooling of other systems in the rack. Fillers must be used as
appropriate in the rack to ensure there is no recirculation of heated
exhaust air back to the front of the rack. Care must also be taken around
cables to ensure no leakage of air in situations where recirculation might
result.
• Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from
the cabinet without recirculating into the router. An open cabinet
(without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the
top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a
top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot
air exhaust. For an illustration of chassis airflow, see Figure 34 on page
56.
• Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the cabinet can
adequately dissipate the thermal output of the router.
• Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and
from the chassis.
• Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack as specified in "MX304 Router
Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance" on
page 47.
• Install the router as close as possible to the front of the cabinet so that
the chassis just clears the inside of the front door. This maximizes the
clearance in the rear of the cabinet for critical airflow.

DC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the MX304 Router
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a dedicated circuit
breaker. We recommend that you use a dedicated customer-site circuit breaker rated for 60 A (60 VDC),
or as required by local code. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration without
upgrading the power infrastructure.

The DC power supply in PSM0 must be powered by a dedicated power feed derived from feed A, and
the DC power supply in PSM1 must be powered by a dedicated power feed derived from feed B. This
configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the system.
CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity. The
power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity. There is no
standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by the external DC
power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads on the power cables
that attach to the terminal studs on each power supply.
WARNING: For field-wiring connections, use copper conductors only.
CAUTION: Power cords and cables must not block access to device components or
drape where people could trip on them.

How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables | 71
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables | 71
Use the information in this topic and the specifications for your optical interface to calculate the power
budget and power margin for fiber-optic cables.
TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable
transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device.
To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks:
71
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables

To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate
the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit. When you calculate
the power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts
of an actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels. To calculate the worst-case estimate of
power budget (PB), you assume minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR):
PB = PT – PR
The following hypothetical power budget equation uses values measured in decibels (dB) and decibels
referred to one milliwatt (dBm):
PB = PT – PR
PB = –15 dBm – (–28 dBm)
PB = 13 dB
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables

After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (PM), which represents the
amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (PB). A
worst-case estimate of PM assumes maximum LL:
PM = PB – LL
PM greater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver.
Factors that can cause link loss include higher-order mode losses, modal and chromatic dispersion,
connectors, splices, and fiber attenuation. Table 33 on page 71 lists an estimated amount of loss for the
factors used in the following sample calculations. For information about the actual amount of signal loss
caused by equipment and other factors, refer to vendor documentation.
Table 33: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss
Link-Loss Factor Estimated Link-Loss Value
Higher-order mode losses Single mode—None
Multimode—0.5 dB
72
Table 33: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss (Continued)
Link-Loss Factor Estimated Link-Loss Value
Modal and chromatic dispersion Single mode—None
Multimode—None, if product of bandwidth and distance is less than 500 MHz-

km
Faulty connector 0.5 dB
Splice 0.5 dB
Fiber attenuation Single mode—0.5 dB/km
Multimode—1 dB/km
The following sample calculation for a 2-km-long multimode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses
the estimated values from Table 33 on page 71. This example calculates link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber
attenuation (2 km @ 1 dB/km, or 2 dB) and loss for five connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 2.5 dB) and
two splices (0.5 dB per splice, or 1 dB) as well as higher-order mode losses (0.5 dB). The power margin
(PM) is calculated as follows:
PM = PB – LL
PM = 13 dB – 2 km (1 dB/km) – 5 (0.5 dB) – 2 (0.5 dB) – 0.5 dB
PM = 13 dB – 2 dB – 2.5 dB – 1 dB – 0.5 dB
PM = 7 dB
The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB
uses the estimated values from Table 33 on page 71. This example calculates link loss (LL) as the sum of
fiber attenuation (8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or
3.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated as follows:
PM = PB – LL
PM = 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7(0.5 dB)
PM = 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB
PM = 5.5 dB
73
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.

Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the
walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs
are not coherent sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which
reflects the light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing
signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding, higher-order
mode loss results. Together these factors limit the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared
with single-mode fiber.
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light can reflect internally through one layer only.
Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of
light, which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared with multimode fiber,
single-mode fiber has higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances.
Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant signal loss, which causes
unreliable transmission.
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable
Correct functioning of an optical data link depends on modulated light reaching the receiver with
enough power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in power of the light signal as it
is transmitted. Attenuation is caused by passive media components such as cables, cable splices, and
connectors. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still
occurs in both multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must have enough
light available to overcome attenuation.
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect an
optical data link:
• Chromatic dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time, resulting from the different speeds of light
rays.
• Modal dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time, resulting from the different propagation modes
in the fiber.
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion—rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation—usually

limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a
factor. However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion rather than modal
dispersion limits maximum link length.
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver
requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be less than the limits
specified for the type of link in Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.
75
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty
in the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation,
power penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.

Tools and Parts Required for MX304 Router Grounding and Power
Connections
To ground and to provide power to the router, you need the following tools and parts:
• Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2
• Socket nutdriver
89
• 2.5-mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver
• Torque-controlled driver, with a maximum torque capacity of 23 lbf-in. (2.6 Nm) to 25 lbf-in. (2.8 Nm)
for tightening screws to terminals on each power supply on a DC-powered router.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC power
supply is 23 lbf-in. (2.6 Nm) to 25 lbf-in. (2.8 Nm). If you apply excessive torque, the
terminal screws might be damaged. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten
screws on the DC power supply terminals. Use an appropriately sized driver, with a
maximum torque capacity of 6 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and
properly calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You might want to use a
driver that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset torque level is achieved.
• Wire cutters
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap
Ground the MX304 Router
NOTE: You must install the MX304 in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is
always properly grounded. The MX304 has a two-hole protective grounding terminal on the
chassis. See Figure 49 on page 91. We recommend that you use this protective grounding
terminal for grounding the chassis regardless of the power supply configuration. However, if
additional grounding methods are available, you can also use those methods. For example, you
can use the grounding wire in the AC power cord or use the grounding terminal or lug on a DC
power supply. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC regulatory requirements
with the two-hole protective grounding terminal.
To ground the router, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis
grounding points with two M6 pan head screws. Figure 49 on page 91 shows the grounding point
location on the chassis. You'll need to provide the grounding cables and the cable lugs. For grounding
cable specifications, see "MX304 Router Grounding Specifications" on page 45.

Connect Power to a DC-Powered MX304 Router
Damage to the router might occur.
WARNING: Before you perform DC power procedures, ensure there is no power to the
DC circuit. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board
that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the off position, and tape the
switch handle of the circuit breaker in the off position.
You connect DC power to the router by attaching power cables from the external DC power sources to
the terminal block on the power supply faceplate. You must provide the power cables (the cable lugs are
supplied with the router). For power cable specifications, see "DC Power Cable Specifications for the
MX304 Router" on page 66.
To connect the DC source power cables to the router for each power supply:
1. Switch off the dedicated customer-site circuit breakers. Ensure that the voltage across the DC
power source cable leads is 0 V and that there is no chance that the cable leads might become
active during installation.
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an ESD
grounding point.
3. Remove the DC power supplies from the chassis. See Figure 51 on page 93.

Nm) of torque to the nuts. Do not apply vertical force while tightening the screws. Do not
overtighten the nuts. (Use a socket nutdriver.) See Figure 55 on page 96.
96
Figure 55: Connecting the DC Cable
a. Secure the positive (+) DC source power cable lug to the RTN (return) terminal.
b. Secure the negative (–) DC source power cable lug to the –48V/-60V (input) terminal.
CAUTION: Ensure that each power cable lug seats flush against the surface of the
terminal block as you are tightening the nuts. Ensure that each nut is properly
threaded into the terminal. Applying installation torque to the nuts when
improperly threaded can result in damage to the terminal.
CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity.
The power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity.
There is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by
the external DC power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads
on the power cables that attach to the terminal studs on each power supply.
NOTE: For a list of supported DC power cables, see "DC Power Cable Specifications for the
MX304 Router" on page 66 the section.
9. Place the terminal block cover on and tighten the screw.

the chassis.
7. Observe the status LED on each power supply faceplate. If an AC or HVAC/DC power supply is
correctly installed and functioning normally, the status LED for each AC or HVAC/DC input switch
lights steadily green.
If the power supply status LED is amber or blinking, the power supply is not functioning normally.
Repeat the installation and cabling procedures.
NOTE: After powering off a power supply, wait at least 120 seconds before turning it back on.
After powering on a power supply, wait at least 120 seconds before turning it off.
If the system is completely powered off when you power on the power supply, the Routing
Engine boots as the power supply completes its startup sequence. If the Routing Engine
108
finishes booting and you need to power off the system again, first issue the CLI
request system halt command.
After a power supply powers on, it can take up to 60 seconds for status indicators—such as
the status LEDs on the power supply and the show chassis command display—to indicate that
the power supply is functioning normally. Ignore error indicators that appear during the first
60 seconds.
8. On the external management device connected to the Routing Engine, monitor the startup process
to verify that the system has booted properly.

Perform Initial Configuration on the MX304 Router
The router is shipped with the Junos operating system (OS) preinstalled and ready to be configured
when the router is powered on. Two 16-MB internal NAND Flash memory devices are located on the
baseboard for BIOS storage. The USB storage device can be inserted into the slot in the Routing Engine
panel faceplate. The system also supports two M.2-based solid-state drive (SSD) slots. These two SSD
devices act as the primary boot devices (sda and sdb). When the router boots, it first attempts to start
the Junos OS image on the USB Flash memory drive if it detects one. If a USB flash drive is not inserted
into the router, or the attempt otherwise fails, the router next tries the primary boot device, and then
tries the secondary boot device.
The MX304 router ships with factory-default settings that enable some zero touch provisioning (ZTP)
functions. These settings load as soon as you power on the switch. In our case we configure the router
manually, so we remove the ZTP settings as part of our initial configuration.
When ZTP is not used you must perform the initial configuration of an MX304 router through the
console port (CON) using the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI). If your MX304 has dual Routing-
Engines, you should perform these steps on each Routing-Engine, being sure to specify a unique
management IP address for the management interface on each Routing-Engine. See Configuring Junos
OS for the First Time on a Device with Dual Routing Engines for information on how to use
configuration groups to share a single configuration file between both Routing-Engines.
Have the following information ready before you begin the initial configuration:
• The router's host and domain name
• IP address and subnet mask for the management and loopback interfaces
• IP address of a default gateway for the management network
• IP address of a DNS server
• The root user's password
This procedure connects the router to the network but does not enable it to forward traffic. For
complete information about enabling the router to forward traffic, including examples, see the Junos OS
configuration guides.
To configure the software:
1. Verify that the router is powered on.
2.
NOTE: You may see messages on the console relating to ZTP and DHCP. These messages
stop once your remove the ZTP statements from the default configuration.
111
Configure your serial port for 9600 bps/8-N-1, and attach the cable to the CON port of the desired
Routing-Engine. Log in as the “root” user. No password is needed.

7. Configure the IP address and prefix length for the router’s management Ethernet interface (fxp0).
You also configure an IPv4 address on the loopback interface in this step. Having a routible IP
address on the loopback interface is a best practice and is generally needed later, when routing
protocols are configured.

11. Configure the IP address of a DNS server.
[edit]
root@# set system name-server address
12. Configure one or more static routes to remote subnets that have access to the management subnet.
Without static routing, access to the management port is limited to devices attached to the
management subnet. Static routing is needed to access the management interface from devices
attached to remote subnets. For more information about static routes, see Configure Static Routes.
In our example we define a single default static route to provide management network reachability
to all possible remote destinations.
[edit]
root# set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop destination-IP retain no-
readvertise
13. Configure the IP address of a backup router. The backup router is only used while the routing
protocol is not running. The primary use of the backup router is to provide routing capability for the
management port on the backup Routing-Engine. This is because the backup Routing-Engine does
not run the routing protocol daemon (rpd).
14. In most cases the backup router is the same IP next hop as used for the management network's
static routes. We again use a default route to provide the back up Routing-Engine with reachability
for all possible remote destinations.
[edit]
root# set system backup-router address
root# set system backup-router destination 0.0.0.0/0
15. Configure remote access for the root user over ssh. By default the root user is only able to log-in via
the console port. The root-login allow statement permits remote log-in for the root user.
[edit]
root# set system services ssh root-login allow

Action
• Regularly inspect the air filter. A dirty air filter restricts airflow in the unit which negatively affects the
router ventilation, The filter degrades over time. You must replace it every 6 months.
CAUTION: Always keep the air filter in place while the device is operating, except
during replacement. The fans are very powerful and can pull small bits of wire or other
materials into the device if the air filter isn't in place. These materials can damage
device components.
• The shelf life of polyurethane filter varies from two years to five years depending on the storage
conditions. Store in a cool, dry, and dark environment. Wrap the media in plastic and store in an
environment with relative humidity between 40%- 80% and temperature between 40°F (4°C) to
90°F (32° C). Note that if the material flakes, or becomes brittle when rubbed or deformed, it is no
longer usable.

For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
4. Label the cables connected to the LMIC so that you can later reconnect each cable to the correct
LMIC.
5. Disconnect the cables from the LMIC. If the LMIC uses fiber-optic cable, immediately cover each
transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or

removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure
to laser light.
6. Arrange the cable to prevent it from falling out or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it
does not support its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.
7. Hold the knob lock at the touch point and pull outwards to rotate it up. See Figure 1.
8. Grasp the handles on the LMIC faceplate, turn them anti-clockwise and slide the LMIC out of the
chassis. Place it in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting

or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
8. Insert the appropriate cables into the cable connectors on the LMIC.
9. Arrange each cable to prevent the cable from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the
cable so that it does not support its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of
the way in a neatly coiled loop.
CAUTION: Do not let a fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not
allow fastened loops of cable to dangle. This stresses the cable at the fastening
point.
147
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems
that are difficult to diagnose.
10. To bring the LMIC online, issue the following command:

Maintain Cables That Connect to LMICs
IN THIS SECTION
Purpose | 147
Action | 148
Purpose
For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the cables that connect to the LMICs.
148
Action
On a regular basis:
• Use the cable management brackets to support cables and prevent cables from coming unplugged or
developing stress points.
• Place excess cable out of the way in the cable management brackets. Do not allow fastened loops of
cable to dangle from the connector or cable management brackets, because this stresses the cable at
the fastening point. Putting fasteners on the loops helps to maintain their shape.
• Keep the cable connections clean and free of dust and other particles, which can cause drops in the
received power level. Always inspect cables and clean them if necessary before connecting an
interface.
• Label both ends of the cables to identify them.
The following guidelines apply specifically to fiber-optic cables:
• When you unplug a fiber-optic cable, always place a rubber safety plug over the transceiver on the
faceplate and on the end of the cable.
• Anchor fiber-optic cables to avoid stress on the connectors. Be sure to secure fiber-optic cables so
that they do not support their own weight as they hang to the floor. Never let fiber-optic cable hang
free from the connector.
• Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches can damage
the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
• Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cable into and out of optical instruments can cause
damage to the instruments and is expensive to repair. Instead, attach a short fiber extension to the
optical equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging is then absorbed by
the short fiber extension, which is easy and inexpensive to replace.
• Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Small microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the
transceiver or cable connector could cause loss of light, reducing signal power and possibly causing
intermittent problems with the optical connection.
To clean the transceivers, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device, such as RIFOCS Fiber Optic
Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions for the cleaning kit you use.
After you clean an optical transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable is
clean. Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit, such as the Opptex Cletop-S
Fiber Cleaner. Follow the directions for the cleaning kit you use.

154
CAUTION: The Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) provides

complete support for Juniper-supplied optical modules and cables. However, JTAC does
not provide support for third-party optical modules and cables that are not qualified or
supplied by Juniper Networks. If you face a problem running a Juniper device that uses
third-party optical modules or cables, JTAC may help you diagnose host-related issues if
the observed issue is not, in the opinion of JTAC, related to the use of the third-party
optical modules or cables. Your JTAC engineer will likely request that you check the
third-party optical module or cable and, if required, replace it with an equivalent
Juniper-qualified component.
Use of third-party optical modules with high-power consumption (for example,
coherent ZR or ZR+) can potentially cause thermal damage to or reduce the lifespan of
the host equipment. Any damage to the host equipment due to the use of third-party
optical modules or cables is the users’ responsibility. Juniper Networks will accept no
liability for any damage caused due to such use.

Installation Safety Warnings for Juniper Networks Devices

Maintenance and Operational Safety Warnings for Juniper Networks Devices
General Electrical Safety Warnings for Juniper Networks Devices
DC Power Electrical Safety Warnings for Juniper Networks Devices
Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Device components that are shipped in antistatic bags are sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily generate potentially
damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam packing material or if you move
components across plastic or carpets. Observe the following guidelines to minimize the potential for
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap when you are handling components that are subject to ESD damage,
and make sure that it is in direct contact with your skin.
202
If a grounding strap is not available, hold the component in its antistatic bag (see Figure 108 on page
202) in one hand and touch the exposed, bare metal of the device with the other hand immediately
before inserting the component into the device.
WARNING: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD grounding
strap. The measurement must be in the range 1 through 10 Mohms.
Avertissement Par mesure de sécurité, vérifiez régulièrement la résistance du bracelet
antistatique. Cette valeur doit être comprise entre 1 et 10 mégohms (Mohms).
• When handling any component that is subject to ESD damage and that is removed from the device,
make sure the equipment end of your ESD wrist strap is attached to the ESD point on the chassis.
If no grounding strap is available, touch the exposed, bare metal of the device to ground yourself
before handling the component.
• Avoid contact between the component that is subject to ESD damage and your clothing. ESD
voltages emitted from clothing can damage components.
• When removing or installing a component that is subject to ESD damage, always place it component-
side up on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an antistatic bag (see Figure 108 on
page 202). If you are returning a component, place it in an antistatic bag before packing it.
Figure 108: Placing a Component into an Antistatic Bag

203
CAUTION: ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 cables such as Category 5e and Category 6 can get

electrostatically charged. To dissipate this charge, always ground the cables to a suitable
and safe earth ground before connecting them to the system.
Attention Les câbles ANSI/TIA/EIA-568, par exemple Cat 5e et Cat 6, peuvent
emmagasiner des charges électrostatiques. Pour évacuer ces charges, reliez toujours les
câbles à une prise de terre adaptée avant de les raccorder au système.
Fire Safety Requirements
IN THIS SECTION
Fire Suppression | 203
Fire Suppression Equipment | 204
In the event of a fire emergency, the safety of people is the primary concern. You should establish
procedures for protecting people in the event of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and properly
provision fire-control equipment and fire extinguishers.
In addition, you should establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a fire emergency.
Juniper Networks products should be installed in an environment suitable for electronic equipment. We
recommend that fire suppression equipment be available in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the
equipment and that all local fire, safety, and electrical codes and ordinances be observed when you
install and operate your equipment.
Fire Suppression
In the event of an electrical hazard or an electrical fire, you should first turn power off to the equipment
at the source. Then use a Type C fire extinguisher, which uses noncorrosive fire retardants, to extinguish
the fire.
204
Fire Suppression Equipment
Type C fire extinguishers, which use noncorrosive fire retardants such as carbon dioxide and Halotron™,
are most effective for suppressing electrical fires. Type C fire extinguishers displace oxygen from the
point of combustion to eliminate the fire. For extinguishing fire on or around equipment that draws air
from the environment for cooling, you should use this type of inert oxygen displacement extinguisher
instead of an extinguisher that leaves residues on equipment.
Do not use multipurpose Type ABC chemical fire extinguishers (dry chemical fire extinguishers). The
primary ingredient in these fire extinguishers is monoammonium phosphate, which is very sticky and
difficult to clean. In addition, in the presence of minute amounts of moisture, monoammonium
phosphate can become highly corrosive and corrodes most metals.
Any equipment in a room in which a chemical fire extinguisher has been discharged is subject to
premature failure and unreliable operation. The equipment is considered to be irreparably damaged.
NOTE: To keep warranties effective, do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to control a fire
at or near a Juniper Networks device. If a dry chemical fire extinguisher is used, the unit is no
longer eligible for coverage under a service agreement.
We recommend that you dispose of any irreparably damaged equipment in an environmentally

responsible manner.
